that the sandra fluke thing has not worked out so well for mr. limbaugh, the interview tonight on this show is the next young american woman who rush limbaugh has decided to come after. it is becoming a badge of honor, that is coming up. tiful makeup out there. but one is so clever that your skin looks better even after you take it off. neutrogena® healthy skin liquid makeup. 98% saw improved skin. does your makeup do that? neutrogena® cosmetics. >>> turns out rick santorum can't be googled problem is getting worse, not better. neat. that is coming up. >>> the history of this election year will be annoying. because in the future when people go to compare 2012 to other years, to look at like delegates and trends and who won what races and what order and who was still in the race when,the stuff we're doing now, this year about previous years in order to make sense of this year, when people do that about 2012 it will be super annoying to calculate this year in any broader understanding of what happens overtime in presidential politics. and that is because 2012 has to have this giant asterisk

's spineless response to rush limbaugh's controversy caught the attention of the president and sarah palin is trying to play the victim again. keep it right here, it's "the ed show" let's get to work. >>> everything is fine on the business side. everything's cool. there is not a thing to worry about. >> rush is spinning hard and republicans refuse to lead. >> the limbaugh thing was a test of leadership. and you know, mitt romney's failed those tests in the campaign. >> new reporting says mitt romney's ties to clearchannel could be the reason he's taking it easy on rush. >>> the latest on the boycott with krystal ball and politics with ohio senator lena turner. >> i believe it will be impossible for a moderate to win the general election. >> push is coming to shove in the disasterous republican primary. sam stein and bob shrum on the super tuesday aftermath. >> game change ii is starting to write itself. >> i wouldn't close that door, and my plan is to be at the convention. >> richard wolffe on the latest palin-sanity. >> the right wing con pir ra -- conspiracy get scooped. >> e.j. dionne j

. palin is this. bill maher is a horrible man. here is how it works. rush limbaugh characterizes a student as a slut and a prostitute for daring to stand up for a sick friend. there's no condemnation for that attack, no krift schism for rush. there's a defense and it's this, bill maher once called ms. palin a very nasty name. >> i don't know anyone can sit in the audience and laugh. i think it's disgusting and it's dirty money that he's provided barack obama's campaign. i don't know how barack obama can sleep at night and if he thinks about his daughters and the treatment of some women today how he can accept that dirty money. >> for the record, mr. maher does say outrageous things on his late night show. i've been on it. he's a comedian. he's better read than ms. palin. he's never run for office. he knows about domestic and foreign policy, but he's not looking for a cabinet post and he does make donations to political campaigns, but he has no influence and seeks no basic s access and did use a four letter word. why is there such a long line of republicans who keep apairing on his show. pe

hand, we've restored the vote, volar i.d. law in wisconsin gone. voter i.d. law in texas gone. limbaugh bailing water, his bosses suspend all national advertising on his show for two weeks. fortunately, he's using that time to try to make it up to women. >> national organization for women, we affectately call them the nags. >> my note about the increasingly shrill effort to defend limbaugh by saying everybody does it. >> down goes rebekah brooks in the murdoch phone hacking difficulties. >> i wanted the money. >> good evening. this is tuesday march 13, 239 days until the 2012 presidential election primary day for voters in alabama mississippi and gop caucuses set for hawaii and american is a mow i can't and. breaking news that pushes those aside for the moment. it is uncertain he may have just mistakenly not been clear enough, might have intended to say subsidies for planned parent hood but in missouri today, mitt romney listed a series of federal programs he would cut and said directly quoting "planned parenthood, we're going to get rid of that." >> what are the specifics what programs

they hold the winning hand. rush limbaugh has made the issue birth control itself, not a moral issue but about some strange attitude of his toward women, toward sex or whatever. and the republicans' refusal to fight him. president obama has waded into this controversy. he called sandra fluke, the targ target. >>> plus, you know things are going badly for the republican party when george f. will says it's time to think more about winning congress than trying to win with the white house. what's behind the forbidding sense that the republicans are blowing this election. >>> we have new numbers out from ohio, wisconsin and washington state which happens to hold its caucuses tomorrow. >>> finally, let me finish tonight with this ditto head behavior by the grand old party. we begin with the woman who's been the target of rush limbaugh's ugly attacks, georgetown law school sandra fluke, also an msnbc political analyst joan walsh. let me ask just about human interest because i think there's a lot of human interest, sandra. can i call you sandra? >> sure. >> it happened right across the hall

are being described as completely gone. >>> backlash. a growing firestorm over rush limbaugh's crude tirade. tonight the young woman he targeted is speaking out with what he said and a surprise phone call today. >>> the threat from iran. a nuclear war of words. is israel planning to strike? tonight the strongest warning yet from president obama. >>> and standing together after unthinkable tragedy. students and teachers, an entire town united in an incredible show of support. "nightly news" begins now. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good evening. tonight, a u.s. senator from indiana said they'd appreciate the prayers of everyone watching television tonight. we are covering a severe weather outbreak of severe weather this evening, the likes of which we are not sure we've ever seen before. 155 million americans have been in the path of severe weather today and tonight. we had tornados in eight states. at one point this evening, there were 19 separate tornado warnings. ve othe map in theve southeast, including se maomr cities, including some smaller towns that are frankly no

brouhaha, an american (mumbling), all over comments made by radio shock- blob rush limbaugh. >> sandra fluke said that it's too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage. it makes her a slut, right? it makes her a prostitute. >> jon: sure. my god. that is the most noxious, hateful filth i've heard since earlier in his program or the program before that one or really every show that he's done for the past 30 years. but this time, whether because the woman that he attacked is a private citizen or because the words came in the context of any woman who wishes contraception to be covered by their insurance plans is a moral reprobate, picking rush limbaugh's pocket so they can bang like horny bonabows, which is to say, bonabows... let's face it, they're all pretty horny. this time limbaugh's daily noon to 3:00 afternoon "mouth dump" caused outrage. creating-- by the way, that is the title of his program. "my daily mouth dump." he caused problems creating a little bit of a dilemma for the right. did they repudiate mr. limbaugh, their lion, their champion, a man r

refuse to lead. >> the limbaugh thing was a test of leadership. and you know, mitt romney's failed those tests in the campaign. >> new reporting says mitt romney's ties to clearchannel could be the reason he's taking it easy on rush. >>> the latest on the boycott with krystal ball and politics with ohio senator lena turner. >> i believe it will be impossible for a moderate to win the general election. >> push is coming to shove in the disasterous republican primary. sam stein and bob shrum on the super tuesday aftermath. >> game change ii is starting to write itself. >> i wouldn't close that door, and my plan is to be at the convention. >> richard wolffe on the latest palin-sanity. >> the right wing conspiracy theorists get scooped. >> e.j. dionne joins us. >>> republicans just can't bring themselves to criticize rush limbaugh in any way, shape or form. the gop candidates have been so critical of president obama but they will not condemn out rainous attacks by a commercial talk show host. mitt romney punted on his first chance to address rush limbaugh. he was given a second chance and ra
